Over the summer, Adams criticized the Jets' culture in an interview with Bleacher Report, saying that when he arrived last year the team was used to losing and "everybody wanted to do the bare minimum."

On Tuesday, Adams told WFAN's Chris Carlin, Maggie Gray and Bart Scott that his overall opinion on the team's culture remains the same.

"Honestly, I could sit here and sugarcoat everything," Adams said. "But things have not changed, obviously we’re still losing. And I’m not saying we have guys like that in the locker room, but at the same time, it’s not changing. It hasn’t changed and we’ve been losing. At the end of the day, we’re going to get it fixed, and soon the sun will shine."

The Jets have lost four straight games to fall to 3-7 and out of the playoff hunt in the AFC. Sunday's loss to the Bills was rock bottom, as the Jets were crushed 41-10 by the previously listless Bills. Angry fans have been demanding coach Todd Bowles be fired for weeks.

Adams wouldn't say that his teammates quit on Sunday's horrific loss, but he admitted that there was a "lack of energy" once things started to go wrong.

"Oh, I believe so," Adams said. "I mean, you come to the sideline and people were down. I mean, you can’t get down, man. We were starting to build some momentum and then [the Bills] got a great play. You’ve got to keep playing man, no matter what. You never know what could happen."

We're sorry, but something went wrong

All the news about the New Jersey Devils, from training camp to the regular season and Stanley Cup playoffs.

Another thing that didn't paint Bowles and his staff in the best light? Adams admitted that the Jets hadn't expected Josh Allen to start at quarterback and hadn't done much preparation on Matt Barkley, who was named the starter late Saturday afternoon. Barkley torched the Jets for 232 yards and two touchdowns in his first action in nearly two years.

"Obviously we didn’t have a lot of film on Barkley," Adams said. "And hats off to him, he came in there and did a hell of a job. We knew he was going to be a possession guy, we knew he was going to take his shots, but we definitely didn’t have film on him if that’s what you’re asking."

Adams' frustration boiled over with a rant after the loss to the Dolphins two weeks ago. But he said the frustration is there after every game, he usually just contains it. He shed some light on the depth of his despair when asked what he hopes for the Jets to accomplish in the final six games of the season.

"We just want to get back to that winning felling," Adams said. "Golly. I hate to say it, man, but I felt like I almost forgot what it feels like. And I’m a winner. It’s just tough. It’s tough. There’s a lot of things you could sit here and say, and a lot of things that could be taken the wrong way. But at the end of the day we’ve just go to go out there and we’ve got to execute, we’ve got to execute better as a team."

The Jets are have a week off before they return next week to face the Patriots. And it sounds like Adams needs the time away and a respite from the losing.

"I’ve got to get out of here, Bart," Adams said when Scott, the former Jets linebacker asked about his plans for the bye week. "I’m not going to lie to you. A lot of frustration, a lot of emotions. I’ve got to be around family, man. I’ve got to get down South and just clear my mind. I’m not going to sit here and say I’m happy. I’m not happy with what’s going on. Obviously, no one is in the building. I always say this, I classify myself as a winner no matter what. It’s very tough to go out there and come up short. I’ve got to get away, man, I’ve got to go home and just be around my loved ones."
